Four steps, from verification to a completed trade.
A verified B2B trade network for UAE SMEs. No cash. No grey areas. Full UAE VAT compliance under FTA ruling VATP042.
Every step designed with protection in mind, for both parties.
Apply & get verified
Apply via the waitlist. The founding team personally reviews each application against the early-member criteria within 24 hours. If you are a match, your trade licence is verified against DED or the relevant free-zone authority before you go live. The licence document is collected after acceptance, not at intake.
- Apply via the waitlist form (no trade-licence number needed at this stage)
- The team reviews within 24 hours against the early-member criteria
- If accepted, trade-licence document is requested and verified manually
- Identity check on the authorised signatory (Emirates ID or passport)
- Verified badge added to your profile once checks complete
Build your profile
Your profile is a listing, in plain terms: I have this service spare, I want this service, at this AED range. You tell the network what you offer, what you want, and how you prefer to trade. The more precise the listing, the better the matches the broker can find for you.
- List your primary service offering with an AED market value
- State clearly what services you are looking for in exchange
- Set deal preferences: size range, preferred timeline, category
- Visible to other verified members only, never to the public
Get hand-matched
In Phase 1 every match is brokered personally by the founding team. You tell the team what you want; they pair you with a verified counterpart based on five match-quality criteria. Both sides must confirm interest before any introduction is made. No cold contact, no wasted meetings.
- You brief the broker on the trade you want (service offered, service received, AED range)
- The team pairs you against five criteria: category fit, fair value, verified licence, clean record, trust signal
- Both parties independently confirm interest before any introduction
- For early members: a 10-business-day SLA on the first hand-match
Exchange & close
Once introduced, both parties agree the scope, the AED value, and a delivery timeline in writing. Services are delivered and tracked against the agreed milestones. When both sides confirm completion, Tabadal generates two FTA-compliant tax invoices, one in each direction, ready to file in your quarterly VAT return under VATP042.
- Both parties agree final scope, AED value and milestones in writing
- Services delivered and tracked against the agreed milestones
- Both parties confirm delivery to mark the deal complete
- Two FTA-compliant tax invoices auto-generated, one in each direction
- Each member files the invoice in their normal quarterly VAT return
Human-brokered, deliberately.
Phase 1 is human-brokered. The founding team personally reviews every application and hand-matches every first deal. There is no algorithm and no member-browsable directory yet. We do it this way deliberately. The quality of your first trade matters more than the speed of it.
What a Tabadal deal will look like at launch.
Tabadal has not matched any deals yet. These are illustrative scenarios showing the shape and value of trades the team will broker once members onboard. Equal value, zero cash, full VAT documentation.
A year of servicing exchanged for a brand refresh and social media management. Both conserve cash flow and get professional work done by a verified counterpart who knows the UAE market.
Event catering and team lunches exchanged for a full menu and product shoot. Both get professional-grade work without raising a single cash invoice to each other. VAT handled automatically.
A year of off-peak training exchanged for a set of promo videos. High value, zero cash. Both parties receive dual VAT invoices and file them in their quarterly FTA return.
Every deal fully VAT-documented.
Every confirmed deal generates two FTA-compliant tax invoices: one from you to your counterpart, one back to you, both at the agreed AED value with the 5% VAT line. Download both as PDFs, file them in your quarterly return exactly as you would any standard tax invoice. You pay VAT on what you received and reclaim VAT on what you provided. Net VAT cost: AED 0 for most standard-rated services.
